Just posted by JB Quarter Horses:

Our beloved Chasin Firewater ascended to greener pastures on April 23, 2015.
We are eternally grateful to Dr. Cliff Honnas and his staff at Texas Equine Hospital. They exhausted every possible avenue to save Chasin from the catastrophic complications of a stifle injury that he initially received at the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
We greatly appreciated all the prayers, calls and texts from his many fans and followers during his convalescence.
Chasin was everything his breeder Vickie Adams envisioned him to be—a winner in the arena and a leader in the breeding barn with offspring earnings of nearly $500,000 from just four performance age crops to the arena.
For his owner Dee Braman, Chasin was so much more. He was the cornerstone of her program and made JB Quarter Horses a household name in the barrel racing industry. Dee graciously shared him with public, making him one of the most promoted, yet affordable, champion sons of Fire Water Flit. She took great pride in the fact that Chasin’s great genetics were available to “Mom-and-Pop” breeders and blue-collar barrel racers, saying everyone is capable of raising and training a great horses—or better yet, one that makes you simply smile.
Chasin made Dee smile. Just being in his presence made her eyes twinkle. Their personalities a perfect match.
Chasin was her dream horse—a gorgeous stallion with a pro rodeo, 1D resume that she could climb on and enjoy running. Chasin was also her beloved friend. Throughout this whole ordeal her only goal was to have him come home to where he could spend his days in leisure, where she could simply look at him and smile…for what he’s done, for what his offspring have done and are going to do, and for simply being here.
Chasin is a true legend now and will forever be in our hearts.
We miss you, Chasin. By God’s grace, we’ll meet you again.
~Your family at JB Quarter Horses

Oh how sad. Though I no longer own the Chasin baby I bred last year, I'm good friends with her new owner. I was so proud of how good looking she was and she just oozed potential. She's growing well too and we've both been super involved in watching his other babies succeed. It's terrible that such a great stallion should be taken from us so early. RIP Chasin. Many prayers for his owner and JBQH at this time.

This is very sad.  Can I ask what happened?  I know the post said something about the the "whole ordeal", perhaps I missed something.  Prayers for the family, owners and jockeys that loved him. 

Never mind, I see the partial explaniation on the other thread.  I never knew he sustained an injury.

So tired of remarks like this. Why should she geld her horse? Have you seen this colt? Is it any of your business? I don't have any idea if her colt is any good but I sure as heck not going to judge her or her colt. I don't see anywhere she was asking for your 2 cents on the subject. Enough already!!!! RANT OVER.

I know he had a career ending stifle injury at the 2011 NFR. They got him breeding sound and a few months ago I heard he reinjured it and they were going to give him this breeding season off. JBQH's post said his death was related to this injury. I'm not sure on the exact details.

I don't mean for this to be snarky....but I guess it will still sound that way.  They gave a brief detail of what happened.  Those of us that watched the NFR that year knew later he had injured himself.  So are the details really all that important for all to know?  My stud was injured in September of 2010.  Had expensive surgery done by Dr. Tanner and we "limped" along (never really being able to compete again) and lots of money spent trying to make him better and more comfortable to no avail.  He died in January of 2013.  He had a huge heart and I know he wanted to live but after so long I just feel like he gave up.  And I can tell you I don't want to go into detail and relive all that he and I went through.....it hurts way too much and won't change anything.  I think JB Quarter Horses have explained enough.  Please honor what part they want to keep private.
